FLORIST NOTE: PLEASE HAVE ALL FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS DELIVERED TO ST. JOHN UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, SEAFORD, DE, BY 9:30 AM, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 2019. Joyce H. Higgins, age 82, of Seaford, Delaware passed away on Friday June 28, 2019 at Read Obituary
I cannot think of the Higgins family without first thinking of Mrs. Higgins, a/k/a
“Joyce” (when she was not in the room and couldn’t hear what her children called her) and her famous lasagna. Many a field hockey girl from 1976 to the early 80’s sat at her table and enjoyed trays and trays and trays of lasagna (this was pre-carb free days when vegetables were not in vogue). Ms. Joyce’s laughter would fill the room as she would load us all up with her special pasta to beat Laurel. And, it worked. Never lost as long as we had Joyce’s lasagna. You always knew her home was open to whoever came through the door. There is no doubt that she was a devoted mother and grandmother who put family first. My condolences to the Higgins’ clan. May your mother’s memory warm your heart. She journeyed through this life and did so with grace and beauty. We are all better for having known her. Peace.
I have so many wonderful memories that i will cherish forever! Your mom lived for the same thing as my mother....her family. Joyce was at every hockey game, every swim meet, every single event her children participated in. She loved you all...that will be with you forever. Love you guys and will be praying for peace for the entire family.
I am so very sorry for your families loss! Prayers for peace and comfort at this difficult time! Mandy
Where do I begin? Such a blessing to have grown up together! Babysitting, visiting, swimming, ice skating, beaching, picnicking, hockey - so much joy sharing our childhoods with you all! We are thinking of you as you go through this difficult journey. Your Mom’s beautiful smile and easy laugh, her welcoming arms and loving arms, will never be forgotten! And who can forget the Day in 1969 when John Higgins showed up unannounced to inform us the fleet of Lord Brothers and Higgins trucks were at the farmhouse to move us in town! Your Mom had kitchen duty and fed us all during the commotion! What treasures of memories. We love you all! Danna Swain Palmer and family
thoughts & prayers for the entire family. Joyce was a lovely long time friend. I will miss her & all our laughs at the dinners we shared. RIP
